I finally got the 200x running again and a few friends and I went up to one of the only local trail spots this morning. The 200x did great except for having almost no rear brakes and it has a very hard time finding first....you have to really jam it to go into first. I had a blast and everyone else was on dirtbikes (they think I am crazy for riding 3-wheelers haha). I have some more pics and will upload them later. :TrikesOwn

Good stuff man. That's what it's all about - actually riding these things and enjoying yourself.

It was so much fun, I hadn't ridden a trike in many many years but I hopped on and it was like nothing had changed. Just sliding around all the turns, man wish I was still riding.

One thing I noticed is I really need a new front tire, what do you guys recommend?

My 84 200x did that to, and then it kind of got worse and then did not like to go into 2nd out of first.

Kenda front max 23x8-11. They also make the stock size 23.5x8-11. That is an awesome tire, and works great for all enviornments.
